with others, rode in an elegant barouche of
the period which came from the establish

carriages. For years that old historical
barouche has rested in the garnet of, what is
now, Clay's stable, until a short time ago
the roof OF the garnet fell in and crushed the
Top Oh the barouche. Yesterday the car
rage, relic Of stored past, stood in the
stable yard dismounted. sad commentary
ON its former greatness. The lining, rich
olive green rep. long ago was taken by Mrs.
ellison, and she now owns it. 1t has been
used for other purposes. The old carriage
however remains. Why can't it be repaired
and placed among the valuables of the
Maine Historical Society as the emblem of
the only visit of royalty to Portland.

Accident at westbrook Junction

Last evening wildcat train on the Maine
Central railroad ran into Portland and
Rochester freight train at Westbrook. JUNG
ton. The Maine Central train consisted of
locomotive and two cars and was running
out to Falmouth to bring the workmen en-
ployed in laying the double track there back
to the city. John Nichols was the engineer.
The signals had been properly set at West
brook Junction for the freight to go ahead,
and the train was crossing the Maine Cen
trail tracks when the wildcat train ran d.
rectly into it, demolishing two cars loaded
with lumber and sending the lumber flying
In all directions. The Maine Central engine
was somewhat damaged. Nobody was hurt
and the tracks were soon cleared. The acct
dent was caused by the engineer of the wild
cat train who misunderstood the signals.

ufacture battery jars from wood pulp under
the patents of Charles Alva Brown. The
goods will be manufactured for electrical

tending, as the committee are endeavoring to
have programme of sports that all will
enjoy. Landlord Dresser has promised a
choice menu of the viands of the season.
They will leave their armory at o'clock
p m. in carriages, returning to the city at
Sp. M. On arriving at the Beach they will
spend the afternoon in the sports and games
of the day. Partaking of dinner, they will
spend the evening in various amusements.
1t is hoped the members and friends of the
company who cannot accompany the party
will endeavor to join them at supper. A
field day by the Cadets has ever been a
pleasant occasion, and always brings back to
the participants happy "reminiscences.

mount pasart limited.

The new fast train to Bar Harbor over the
Maine Central and Boston and Maine roads
Will make its first trip July 4. The train
will be made up Of five Pullman yestibule
cars and will be the first of its kind in New
England. The cars are each about 70 feet in
length and by the new vestibule connections
are made like the rooms of house. The
platforms are entirely enclosed. Only the
steps remind one, in these cars, that such a
thing as platform exists. At the head of
each short flight of steps is panelied door,
extending across the width of the platform,
and finished In hard wood, like the doors of
an ordinary car. The construction of the
vestibulo consists primarily of broad, thick
frame of steel like huge inverted ox-bow,
which is supported by strong elastic pres
sure derived from springs. The effect of the
springs upon the steel frames is to cause
them to project several inches beyond the
platform when the car Is detached from the
train But when two vestibule cars are con-
nected the effect Of the ordinary close coup
ing devices In use is to cause the steel
frames with which they are provided to be
forced backward and the pressure springs
being thereby compressed, the broad faces
oi the frames press upon each other in close
contact throughout the whole surface, and
with very considerable force. Within the
vestibules the finish and furnishing is az
elaborate as any part of the car. The side
doors are securely barred while the train is
In motion, but can be thrown open instantly
when stop is made. The vestibule space is
brilliantly lighted.
The new system of connecting the cars, be-
sides removing the discomforts usually ex-
perienced in going from one car to another,
decreases the oscillation of the train and the
danger of telescoping in cases of collision.
One Of the cars ON the new train will be a
dining room car where the passengers will be
served with excellent meals as they fly tow
ards their destinations. The train will leave
Boston at 9.15 a. m, arriving at Bar Harbor
at $3.50 p. M. stopping only at Portland and
Bangor Returning the train will leave Bar
Harbor at a. M, and will reach Boston at
5. p m.

The Press Key-Check System.

The PRESS key-check system is meeting
with great favor, and has become regular
institution. 1t is astonishing how many
business men accidentally drop their keys in
the street, or leave them in odd places, and
when they do, under this system they always
recover them. BY this system, too, the
persons finding keys have no mean of know

promised reward on leaving the heys at this
